Primary Curriculum Conference 2020
On January 28th 2020, 240 primary practitioners from across the West Partnership came together to attend our Primary Curriculum and Innovation Conference.
The event included keynote addresses by John Swinney, Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Education and Skills as well as Graeme Logan, Director of Learning at the Scottish Government. Delegates were also given the opportunity to attend their choice of six interactive workshops, led by a combination of Education Scotland partners as well as local authority representatives.
Themes included Developing the Young Workforce, Health and Wellbeing, Literacy, Playful Pedagogy, Creativity and the refreshed CFE narrative. Pupil leadership from across the RIC was also showcased on the day, with around 20 schools and establishments showcasing interesting and innovative practice at our Innovation Station centre.
Evaluation of the event was extremely positive and we now look to offer further opportunities of this kind to encourage partnership and collaboration across the West.

The day was attended by some 700 ELC practitioners from all 8 local authorities as well as private partnership establishments within these areas. A packed programme of keynote addresses, interactive workshops and a market place for showcasing of interesting practice ensured that delegates had numerous opportunities to network, learn and immerse themselves in some new and interesting practices aimed at the continual development of an exciting and effective curriculum for children. Keynote addresses include Dr Stella Louis, Katherine Solly and Lynne Taylor from Education Scotland.
A focus on ‘realising the ambition’ was threaded throughout the day, with workshops ranging from ‘Swedish Lunches to a variety of outdoor education pursuits as well as aspects of creativity and play. The event was very successfully evaluated with ELC staff feeling ‘inspired and re-enthused’ around the 1140 hours and its ongoing development.
The partnership are planning to follow this event up with further professional learning opportunities targeted at the ELC sector.
